Man City v Crystal Palace – Preview, Lineups, Betting, TV Coverage
Man City and Crystal Palace will go head-to-head on the Gameweek 10 of the 2021/2022 Premier League season.
This game will be an interesting game for both teams. The last time these two sides met was last May where City came out 0-2 victors at St James’s Park. With City picking up 6 points from 6 against Palace Newcastle in the 2020/2021 season.
Man City Retrospective
City are steadily improving with each game, the champions sit 3rd, behind leaders Chelsea and Liverpool, two points of the top after 9 games. Like Chelsea, they have only lost one game all season and boast an impressive defensive record, conceding 4 goals.
In their last game, their hammered Brighton away from home 1-4 with goals from Ilkay Gundogan, Riyad Mahrez and two from Phil Foden.
Crystal Palace Retrospective
Palace currently sits 16th, with 1 win, 2 losses and 6 draws. 9 points from a possible 27 were to be expected after a change of manager, especially from a manager like Patrick Vieira.
They could count themselves as unlucky in a handful of the games they eventually drew, throwing away leads has been their Achilles heel thus far this season.

This game between Man City and Crystal Palace will kick off at 3 pm BST (British Summer Time) on Saturday, 30 October 2021, at The Etihad Stadium.

For Palace, Nathan Ferguson is out with a shin injury with no return day. While Eberechi Eze is suffering from lower leg problems and will be ruled out long-term.

Man City v Crystal Palace prediction
Man City will be coming into this game buoyed with confidence after their demolition job of in-form Brighton away from home, picking up all three points with a 1-4 win.
Palace will be more than up for this game after squabbling away a crucial 3 points in their last game against Arsenal and letting Newcastle gain a point at Selhurst Park last week.
If Patrick Vieria’s side does get something away at Man City, it would be a great achievement.
However, I can only see a comfortable Manchester City win here.
Prediction: 3-0 Man City
